New Cocktails & Nightlife in Charleston at Amen

April 4, 2012

Amen Street Fish & Raw Bar boasts the best seafood & great nightlife in Charleston SC, but we’re also calling bragging rights for our fantastic nightlife including cocktails and large bar selections. Looking for a new drink to enjoy at Happy Hour or before dinner? You might have a hard time choosing after reading about these refreshing and smooth choices:

Our Hemmingway Mojito is a staff favorite because of its refreshing taste and skillful mix of flavor. Served on the rocks, the Hemingway Mojito pairs Bacardi rum, Campari (alcohol infused with bitter herbs, aromatic plants and fruits) with fresh muddled limes and fresh mint. Enjoyed as a midday refresher, before dinner drink or as a compliment to one of Chef Stephan Ollard’s signature dishes, the Hemmingway Mojito is the quintessential beverage that puts you in a vacation state of mind.

Amen Street’s Famous Bloody Mary is a spicy favorite with both our staff and our loyal patrons. Each batch requires 24 hours to perfect; yes, we take this drink pretty seriously. Most people who taste it liken it to a work of art. Honestly, who can be modest with a drink like this?

Amen Street’s bartenders mix our House Infused Spicy Vodka (lemon slices, peppercorns, jalapenos) with our Secret Bloody Mary Recipe then garnish with lemon, lime, pickled okra, pepperocini, olive and onions. If you’d like, we’ll even make room for a local jump shrimp to top it off. It is the perfect drink for enjoying with fresh oysters or fresh seafood from our raw bar.

Amen Street recently added a popular new local bourbon infusion, Virgil Kaine Bourbon & Ginger, made nearby in Folly Beach, SC. Virgil Kaine is handcrafted with two-year-old bourbon, natural ginger, vanilla and cinnamon flavors. Light amber in color, each sip allows for the distinct flavors to be truly tasted then finishes on a sweet note. Voted Charleston’s best new flavored whiskey by Charleston City Paper, Virgil Kaine will please both the new and devoted bourbon drinker. Enjoy Virgil Kaine Bourbon & Ginger with a splash of carbonated water and a twist of lime or simply on the rocks.

A new draft beer addition to our bar is the Holy City Smoked Marzen. Brewed just over the bridge in North Charleston SC, the Smoked Marzen is a malty lager with German smoked malt to give it a smokey finish. The German style Marzen has an abv of 6.3% giving it just the right kick. Pair our famous Amen burger or one of our popular sandwiches with the Smoked Marzen and we’re pretty sure you’ll be saying “Amen” at the end of your meal.
